Mortbay Jetty <= 7.0.0-pre5 Dispatcher Servlet DoS
The dispatcher servlet (com.acme.DispatchServlet) is prone to a DoS vulnerability. This example servlet is meant to be used as a resources dispatcher, however a malicious aggressor may abuse this functionality in order to cause a recursive inclusion. In detail, it is possible to abuse the method com.acme.DispatchServlet.doGet(DispatchServlet.java:203) forcing the application to recursively include the "DispatchServlet". As a result, it is possible to trigger a "java.lang.StackOverflowError" and consequently an internal server error (500). Multiple requests may easily affect the availability of the entire servlet container.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Jetty 6.1.16 or 7.0.0.pre5 or later versions.
